Hearing the voice of God

Many Christians today are taught to listen for God’s voice through inner promptings, impressions, or a “still small voice.” They are encouraged to seek signs, nudges, and feelings as indicators of divine direction, often leading to uncertainty, self-doubt, and even spiritual manipulation.

But is this truly how God communicates with His people?

Scripture teaches that God has already spoken clearly and sufficiently through His Word. Unlike the subjective experiences promoted today, biblical examples of God speaking were unmistakable, authoritative, and direct.

Nowhere does the Bible instruct believers to search for hidden messages or rely on personal revelations to determine His will. Instead, we are called to seek wisdom, obey His Word, and trust in His sovereignty.

In the following articles, we will examine the dangers of extra-biblical revelation, the biblical way to discern God’s guidance, and the crucial distinction between illumination and revelation.
